Sarah Palin has made a lot of stump speeches, but the wide-eyed look on her face showed Saturday's might have been her first to feature a live alligator.
Palin attended an event for Senate candidate Rob Maness at Restaurant des Familles in Crown Point. Following the speech, Maness surprised the former Alaska governor with a three-foot gator.
The visit from the scaly guest -- courtesy of Insta-Gator Ranch in Covington -- was met with zydeco music and a standing ovation from the 100-plus Maness supporters in attendance.
"She just laughed about it," Maness said. "She's a warrior for American and a warrior for freedom. I'm honored to get her endorsement, but I'm honored she's prioritized our campaign."
"Mama Grizzly" and the "Alligator Hunter" served the guests a variety of alligator-inspired foods, a throwback to a Maness ad where he wrestles an alligator.
Palin has endorsed Maness in his race to unseat Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu over the Republican establishment candidate, Rep. Bill Cassidy. She compared Maness to other conservative favorites like Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah.

COOL ping alert
Ping.
Palin said “oh look, this gator is a lot more friendly than Harry Reid”.
just joking
She is thinking this is going to make a wonderful hand bag
Hee hee...prolly thought it :D
“Stump speech”... I like it.
Very cool.
Great pic of Palin and ‘Gator!
How is Maness doing?
No, she’s going to help Maness convince LA TEA to unseat Landriue. Maness’ 7 plus Cassidy’s added together = no runoff, Landrieu loses.
Not too many of those in Wasilla, but there’s at least one in the lake a block from my home

I think we need a little more detail on how that will work.
But I like the goal.

I always wondered what a picture of Sarah and Hilary Clinton would look like, now I know ;)
Palin: It’s cute. Barack, do you want to hold it? . . . Where’d he go? He was here a minute ago. Barack?
Why does it have a belt around it’s beak?
Thought bubble...
“There, there Hillary...It’s OK...That’s a good lizard......See the nice people with the tranq gun? They’ve come to bring you back to the liberal reserve where you belong...”
